v0.6.0

Breaking Changes

• A ResultWriter must now additionally write the status code into the http.ResponseWriter. This is necessary due to ordering constraints when writing into a http.ResponseWriter (see #9).

Improvements

• Stopping the Checker does not wait until the initial delay of periodic checks has passed anymore. Checker.Stop stops the Checker immediately, but waits until all currently running check functions have completed.
• The health check http.Handler was patched to not include an empty checks map in the JSON response. In case no check functions are defined, the JSON response will therefore not be { "status": "up", "checks" : {} } anymore but only { "status": "up" }.
• A Kubernetes liveness and readiness checks example was added (see examples/kubernetes).
